All text should be inset 1 inch from all edges of the screen.(Horizontal lines will vibrate on a TV screen.) Set line spacing to 11/2 or 150% of font size.If a watermark graphic is used, it should be transparent or embossed in a solid background so that it does not interfere with the text.(Most existing PowerPoint background templates do not work well on TV.) Neutral backgrounds with black text also work well.Dark blue backgrounds with white or pale yellow text work best.Using bold fonts generally increases readability.Fonts that do work well include: Arial, Lucida Sans, MS Sans Serif, Palatine and Tahoma.Thin serif fonts such as Times New Roman do not work well on TV.The preferred minimum font size is 24 point.The following guidelines should be adhered to as closely as possible. Computer monitors have a much higher resolution than most television monitors, so presentations created using a computer monitor that will eventually be viewed on TV need special consideration.

PowerPoint presentations made during Commission work sessions and meetings will be broadcast live on television. GCTV PowerPoint Guidelines for Television PresentationsĪll PowerPoint presentations for Commission Work Sessions or Meetings must be delivered to the GAC by 3 pm the day of the presentation.
